For those who spent last week "dot watching" the GPS trackers on Dragon's Back - here's my blog/race report which might explain the slow, random daily progress! guymawson.wordpress.com
flanker Jul 2015 4:13pm, 1 Jul 2015 15,960 posts	0 flanker Great blog. Guess I'd better start putting the pennies away for 2017. As a matter of interest, was the 'must have done a multi-day event' entry criteria enforced? i.e. do I need to do a MM next year?
notpete Jul 2015 5:00pm, 1 Jul 2015 304 posts	0 notpete flanker, the entry pages for 2017 state there's no vetting and they assume everyone knows what they're doing. Not that I'd checked that last week, during the race, oh no.
GeeeM Jul 2015 5:14pm, 1 Jul 2015 849 posts	0 GeeeM 2017 onwards will be different - no vetting, set checkpoints and GPX routes all available beforehand. Not sure if it will be a prescribed route of more of a recognised / recommended route in the style of something like Fellsman. That makes it a different event in my eyes, still a huge challenge but it strips away a level of uncertainty and navigation. You can recce the exact route to death before especially Day 2. It's a shame but probably the only way to get a field every 2 years, they couldn't fill it this year with 300+ entrants due to vetting!
